Hi there!
Life doesn't seem to stop being crazy and busy lately. I've been throwing myself into the musical, rediscovering my love of theatre. The community at my university's theatre program is so amazing and accepting, and has shown me so much love...with the exception of one member. In case I haven't mentioned it before, I'm Jewish (to be more specific, I'm a Reconstructionist who's considering becoming Reform, my own form of Baal Teshuva, if you will), and I'm very passionate about my Jewish identity. One person in my theatre, a girl who I have worked with for the past few weeks, stood up and made a very antisemitic comment last night during our "Audience Talk-Back". Needless to say, I was furious. Fortunately, the rest of the cast and the crew were very supportive of me, and the only other Jewish crew member-- we have been assured that that kind of talk will not be permitted in the department.
Still, I find myself angry. Not just angry, but disappointed and jarred. As one of six Jewish students on campus, I already find myself "othered" enough. The fact that a person who was invited to partake in a Pesach Seder would do something like this is frightening and infuriating. Hopefully I will not have to do much more than tolerate this person.
On a more positive note, being forced to avoid chametz and kitnyiot during Pesach has made the weight just melt off! It's almost like an extreme form of LCHF-- almost no carbs, just fresh produce and protein! This is my first year avoiding chametz for all eight days, and I'm doing my best to stay strong. It's a struggle, but one that will make me a stronger person and rededicate me both to my diet and to my spirituality.
Love and Light,
That Soon To Be Skinny Bitch
